I am getting more ruthless in my purchases too. Lack of space and trying to save money.

I want the Creator Carousel but it would go straight into the backlog pile and sit there for awhile so I can wait. Since i'm on more of a limited income I think i'm going to skip any purchase next month (that free piggy bank is meh) and save money for August/Sept. I want Fishing Shop bad, plans for my Halloween setup which is basically actually doing my idea from last year but actually finishing it and having better stuff to work with like the Silent Mary and Fishing shop. I also really want that Ninjago City set so going to see if I can scrape enough together to get that in Aug (if its the VIP early access) and Fishing Shop on Sept.1st. Then I will be done till the annual Winter set is revealed/comes out. Calling it quits on Star Wars and thankfully the Justice League sets do absolutely nothing for me.
I think I may have my addiction under control! *nervous laugh*

Anybody have any interest in 4996, 5891 or 6754? I was able to get them for cheaper than Amazon but am kinda needing cash right now. They are all brand new and sealed.
Just PM me if you're interested or want to make an offer. Here's what I'm looking to get for them (includes shipping).
4996 (Beach House) - $110
5891 (Apple Tree House) - $80
6754 (Family Home) - $130

That won't fit into the Canvas bags...
But you can fit some other cool sets into it that do fit in the bag on the same day that you pick up Ninjago City!

Interview with Austin Carlson and Marcos Bessa, the lead designers of BrickHeadz
Had no idea Bessa was involved so heavily with these. I have only built two so far, but like what I have done so far. Not loved so much that I need all of them, but a very satisfied experience. I still feel that Bessa's strength is in the micro builds like what populated Simpson's House and Ghostbusters' HQ. Of course, his SNOT work and detailing in Ewok Village was damn good.
It is funny to see how his favorite LEGO element is (from what I remember) the same as Jaime Berard, which is the jumper plate. They are fun elements to start slightly mixing things up with half stud builds here and there.

It's messiness is what I like about this set. It really looks like an organic piece of a, overcrowded city, where different people built different things next and on top of each other. There is so much to look at and to discover. I love 'clean' buildings like some of the modulars too, but it is cool to get something similar but in the same time so different...
I'm trying to cut down on purchases too, as space is running out. I went a bit overboard with TLBM. I don't really regret it because I liked the theme, but I feel like a lot of those sets will be the first to go now that I'm running out of space. I'm also planning on cutting back a bit on Star Wars.
I allready decided not to get the Carousel, though I was primed to buy it just a few weeks back, just to save money and space for the Old Fishing Store.

Guess that means Ninjago movie is the new CMF Series?

I'm gonna need to figure out how to build a transition between regular modulars and ninjago city ....
Is that a hoodie piece with hair??!!
I'm thinking an enormous sewer scene running the length of my street which transitions into the bottom floor / river part of the Ninjago one
That it is.
Looking forward to the reveals over the next day.
EDIT: and very smart move by LEGO - reveal a giant set that is a great showcase for displaying minifigs, and then the next day reveal the CMFs to add to that set.
Ninjago City is the Ninjago equivalent of the Death Star
Looks like a BB8-dome. Not sure thoughIs this bowl piece new? I don't know much of Ninjago, but that's a cool print:
Edit: it isn't BB's stud doesn't fit in a hand and the dome is higher

Now approve something like this:
https://ideas.lego.com/projects/7026f264-64e0-483f-909f-373160d74c2b
But maybe too similar to Ninjago Movie right now to get approved. But with those sets maybe we can build something similar.

Thanks!
CMFs look hit & miss. As often the case it is going to come down to unique accessories.
Ice Tank looks cool - like the asymmetrical look.

If the Ice Tank was in black it could be MOCed pretty easily into a Mass Effect Reaper, the top part of it looks very similar to a Reaper, IMO.

I might get flak for this but I think the Ninjago City looks way better than the Death Star!
On a side note, I need several of those dragon design bowls from the Ninjago CMF line!!

All I see is the makings of a Solid Snake minifig in those Shark Goons.
Hmmmm....
Hmmmm....
More pieces and $200 cheaper to boot!

Hey gang,
Here are some pictures showing the different batmobiles if anyone was curious. It's the tumbler from the Nolan trilogy and then the regular batmobile and ultimate batmobile from Lego Batman movie!

The Star Wars tax is strong with Lego.
Lol, about time we got a Lego selfiestick

Selfie stick twerp is going to be horribly murdered in my city, that's for sure. Lots of other cool figures there so, so (sigh) I guess I'll grab a whole bunch of them.
Also, I received the missing parts so my 50% Bricklinked Blue Power Jet has been completed. It started fairly simple but there's some cool stuff here for sure, but obviously targeted to a lower age range. The end result is a really cool-looking plane (which looks VERY much like Thundercracker), with a lot of neat functions. Quite happy I finally tracked it down. Also, since I Bricklinked it with some existing parts, I could spend the rest of the cost towards overpriced figures, yay! So now I have a Aayla Secura and a David Hasselhoff. Him and Mr T are piloting the jet now because obviously.

Buy a modular building (or ten) and display them all over.

My backlog is obscene, so I have been trying to avoid this thread. However, something gets announced and I am here, plotting a purchase. But I will have to wait for double VIP for Ninjago City, Old Fishing Shop will take priority.

Pics or it didn't happen! Speaking of which, maybe I need to change the pose on mine again.
I do so wish the waist turned at least a little bit.
I have no damn clue what to do with lack of space for displaying Lego...I want to buy shit and I dont have the space to put them... and I am here asking myself what is the point of buying them just to build them and then store them in some storage box or something even my cat cant have access to... I even want to do a new Scarif MOC (already posted here my Maz Kanata's Castle and Mos Eisley MOCs) but lack of space hurts like a kick in the nuts...
It has become from simple hobby nuisance to a serious 1st world problem...

Yes. Lack of space sucks, the problem is that even if you have quite a bit of space (which i DO have somewhat actually) it is ALL filled up incredibly soon. I blame TLG for this though since they are absolutely OUT OF CONTROL right now and have been releasing non stop fucking amazing huge sets all the damn time.
I mean, it truly is the golden age of Lego that we are living in, problem is no one can realistically get all these sets AND display them unless you dedicate an entire house plus garage to ONLY your collection and even then you WILL run out of space sooner or later
I was all set on buying the upcoming Ninjago Destiny's Bounty but now they've only gone and revealed the Ninjago City as well. I've realistically only got display room for one of them :/Yes.

I buy pretty much only Star Wars sets and I don't regret Palace Cinema for a second.
Something tells me this year there will be some hard choices to be made
And this is not yet listing the BB8 and the rumored UCS MF.
As well no sub-100 sets and none of my favorite Technic line ...
